Being watched is one of the basic narrative modes of Lu Xun's novels. "Look" not only refers to the gaze of an observer on the general level, but also refers to judging the words and deeds of someone or a certain kind of person according to certain value judgment standards. "Observed" not only refers to the observed in the usual sense, but also focuses on the observed or appreciated in the abstract sense, that is, the bystander "stares" at the observed person with appreciation eyes out of a special "aesthetic" hobby, or makes some judgments on the observed person's words and deeds according to certain value judgment standards. "Being watched" is the opposite of "seeing", and the relationship between "seeing" and "being watched" is actually binary opposition. The binary opposition between "seeing" and "being seen" exists in many novels of Lu Xun. In The True Story of Ah Q, Ah Q and others in Zhuang Autonomous Region have a strong interest in watching Kill the Revolutionary Party. When Ah Q told people in Zhaozhuang about seeing the Revolutionary Party killed in the city, "everyone who listened was in awe." Just because Ah Q "saw" that the revolutionaries in the city were killed, his position in the eyes of Wei Zhaung people was similar to that of Grandpa Zhao. Ah Q is not a revolutionary party, but his murder also aroused the keen interest of spectators: when Ah Q paraded the streets before his execution, "many spectators opened their mouths" and "ant-like people" surrounded him, and everyone scrambled to see how Ah Q was shot, resulting in an empty lane. In Kong Yiji, people in Xianheng Hotel showed great concern for Kong Yiji.
